way to highway 84. the back of my otherwise have been worse but there was another crash is stevenson in the southbound direction holding up the traffic. >> here is a quick look at your wednesday forecast. we do have showers in the pitcher and this is on tap for this afternoon. most of us will remain dry. we're off to a mild start and afternoon will be mostly cloudy. friday is expected to be the warmest day of the week. i will have your full details coming up. >> our top story this morning. the golden gate bridge has officials agone automatic. as of midnight, the less a toll taker has left the toll plaza and the last car to pay a toll drove through the gates. kron4 will tran joins us from the

golden gate bridge with an update. >> if it is awfully quiet and we do not hear a lot of car horns. 86 percent of the commuters already have fasttrack so they do not have a problem with stopping. here is say shot from our camera. overnight, they had to tell some people not to stop. here is how is sound as if you happen to be a person who stops. >> thesthis is a little intimidating. but it is not a problem. you are forgiven. if they just want you to drive through and they will send you a ticket. the

ticket would be just the price of the actual toll fee which is $6. we had 28 collectors who took the other jobs or either took a severance package. we had a chance to talk to the last toll taker who left work. this is what they had to say. >> i have family and sometimes i am happy and sometimes i set. this is something that i believe that the people who are displaced can reinvent themselves with something better. this is a new door opening for them and they can go on a new journey. >> why did the golden gate

bridge do this? they did this to save monday. they stated that will save about $60 million over the next few years. the bridge was having some type of shortfalls. nonetheless, some of them are being honest and they believe that this will not work and they think they're just a part of the golden gate bridge just as anything else. >> more trouble for the new span of the bay bridge. this time a lease 30 of the giants bolts that hold together the new bay bridge has snapped. caltran is considering replacing all 288 of them. engineers

believe that the problem is with the law bolts themselves and not with the bridge to design. while they do not have a time line on how they're going to fix the problem, or know how much replacing them will cause, caltran insists that the new span is said and they do plan to open at the day after labor day. >> the time is at 7 05 a.m.. and about 10 minutes from now the supreme court will consider the defense a marriage act, the second of back-to-back day marriage cases. yester day the court heard hearings on california's proposition 8. the voter approved a ban on same-sex marriage. it is a constitutional challenge to a law that prevents a legally married gay couples from collecting federal benefits, and generally available to straight married couples. >> i will tell you that the

cult's are getting bigger as the more animals on. it is not as big as it was yesterday. it is still an impressive number but as you mentioned will adjust minutes away from the next argument began. they will really be zeroing in on what to talk about. they define marriage as a man and woman and now they want to know what can be done about the benefits and whether or not they should or should not receive them. at the heart of this it if they are married under federal law they do not get things like social security benefits or other spousal benefits. of

course, and this is really taking the steam. the people that are standing outside of of the accords are saying that this morning. this does and the train on top of on social media. arrow lot of people talk about this and there's a lot action mannheim this. what is constitutional and what is not constitutional? >> yesterday, the release of audio of the 20 minute hearing. the notes that would do the sampling today? >> yes it will pretty much be the same drill as to how the process will work. they will receive a hour and 50 minutes to argue their case. we have to wait all this wraps up and then there is audio that may be released

to the public so you could hear the questions. a again, the heart of this is for the justice system ferrol whether or not the federal government can say who gets benefits and who does not. the other thing i want to point out is that the administration will not be fighting for this federal law. this is because the administration says that they supported. this is another question in itself whether not they are allowed to do that. >> thanks renrene marssh reporting live outside the supreme court this morning. coming up in the next half- hour, a political expert michael yaki will have more

on this hearing that is just about to get under way. >> we will be right back. that''s too much bacon. said nido one ever. baconacolia is back! now nowith even more bacon. come cmeelebrate our bacon obsession with all a new menu items like the bacon avocado omelette. only alyt denny's. growing up, we didn't have u-verse. we couldn't record four shows at the same time. in my day, you were lucky if you could record two shows. and if mom was recording her dumb show and dad was recording his dumb show

>> welcome back. here is a live look to the golden gate bridge. our big story this morning, we're just after midnight the final toll taker left and the bridge turned to all electronic toll in. >> as you can imagine it was a very tough day for some of the bridge toll workers. some had started the district more than 20 years ago. they were saying goodbye and that it was

difficult. there were a lot of hugs and a lot of tears that were shed as the workers wrapped up their ships for the last time. we already heard from last toll taker, but a few others reflected on their jobs and how they will miss the people that that work with. >> there are of the ones the cat may together and i do now have this option anymore. >> i never thought about in my career here. i have been here since i was 16 years old. i am 43 years old. i am very sad. i am very angry about losing my job. i will miss the customers the most. that really hurts. >> the two women said they plan to take a break from the bridge and stay away from it for a while.hey

drive time is 14 to 16 minutes of glory and from the mimic freeway. the san mateo bridges problem free but it is getting heavier from 13 to 15 minutes from hayward to foster city. >> we are contending with cloudy conditions and there is a lot of cloud cover. your temperature is are not too bad we are enjoying upper 40's for concord. satellite radar shows the there is a bigger weather story. we do have a very weak system to our north that is bringing light rain. we may see a stray showers this afternoon. we are not talking about a thing substantial. we can see the beginning of a stronger system. will have more

came from an area by the science center. >> we will follow the latest with the supreme court hearing what the defense marriage act. there is a little bit of sunshine that is coming out. >> we will be right back are.

>> welcome back. >> the supreme court has begun hearings on the defense of marriage act. yesterday's the court heard arguments on california's proposition 8. the voter approved ban on same-sex marriage. a section of the federal defense of marriage act is before the justices this morning. it is a constitutional challenge to the law that prevents

legally married gay couples from collecting federal benefits, generally available to straight married couples. the defensive measure access the marriage may only be a relationship between a man and a woman for purposes of federal law, regardless of state laws allow same-sex marriage. >> this is basically what this is all about and the question is whether or not the federal government should determine what marriages. traditionally, historically lick it was of to the state. >> yesterday, it was of the right to marry and now this the right for the ones who're already married. >> this is something that was brought up. he stated that in california a lot of laws are passed that gives them the same benefits the

one thing--why do we care? this question is answered today because it is a clear note. if the federal law does not recognize the marriage then all of the benefits will not matter. even under the old, care the same question comes up if you are married and you buy health insurance. if your honor recognized as married then you have a different case. all this c into place and then the question comes up to how they are together. >> until you say that there is something that may indicate how they will go with today. >> i think we have to start

with both of these cases and there is a link between them that we want to address. the supreme court does not take this lightly. they use these as ways of principle. a lot of people stated that after yes to that were backing off and that they should have buyer's remorse. they can put both of these cases out some standing. yesterday's case was where the opponents could represent the state of california. i think this is a lack of better words the chicken. i think that will make an opinion and if you looked at this the only way that these two cases, more is if they decide that they can do this nearly or broadly. they can either decide a, that marriage is defined by the stating that

they have the right to do what and that the federal loss and i give them all. the people there push proposition it may win more everett is a mistake but i think they will do this is my gut feeling that that will probably say that they will recognize the states who recognize that and that that will throw wal out. it's >> proposition they took that away and taken away that right did violate the equal costs. this is what i think. >> will check back with you in a 30 a.m.. >>h michael at 8:30 a.m..

>> we are starting out with cloudy conditions and the temperatures are in the 40's and 50's. we may pick up a stray shower for the afternoon. it is difficult to track this but you keep your umbrella handle. it is a good possibility that we will not see any rain. i will have your full details in just a few minutes. >> we're checkinwe are trackingt spot. however, things are very jammed up and the drive time should be about 36 minutes is now running at 49 minutes. these are really slow. the better news is that the accident has been clear. we are getting a word about a problem with the

construction of the bay bridge. you may have heard earlier this morning that a number of bolts of crack or either broke. joining us now is a spokesperson for the transportation commission to talk to was about this discovery. >> what does this mean for overall opening of the bridge? >> two different questions. as far as the opening we do not anticipate any impact on the opening of the new bridge. but between now and september we have some bolts that need to be fixed. the contractors are looking at options and that will decide on the course of action. >> will there be any

problems with accessing the bridge? are some of them buried in concrete or hit and? >> where it has been identified this is covered by the road that and for all purposes is inaccessible, but there are other connecting rods on this structure that we can access and those will be removed and analyzed. this will tell us how many may need to be replaced whether it is all of them or some of them. >> it has not been determined yet if all 288 of them will be replaced? >> yes. that decision has not been made. >> when will that decision be made? >> it should be made within the next couple of weeks.

the bridge hit a snag when he discovered that some of them may not have been tightened down and that is why they snapped. as we heard john say that they may now have any delays. >> our top story this morning. the golden gate bridge has officially gone automatic. as of midnight, the last poll taker has left the toll plaza and the last car to pay a toll and drove through the gates. kron4 will tran joins us live from the golden gate bridge. >> this is how people are going through the they have fast track or ave are getting the word to drive through and lead the agency

the executive branch. the legislator pass the laws and the executive is the ones will force it. they stated that they did not wanted for is a because they do not believe in that. they stated that it was unconstitutional. the obama administration was gained laid on this. all they stated that they were put in a weird position because they're not asking them to make a decision because they felt to do it. if you do not believe in a lot you should not enforce it. this led to the harvard law professor speaking his spoke about the issue and they were ripping into the left and right.

they stated that they do not believe the there is a standing and that the federal government may have to pay this back. there is an injury and this is something that the house may have an interest to protect. i think the standing issue will go back to the merits and then it goes back to one justice. this will lead me to the political part to say that what you have seeing in the past has been a steady drum beat. you have seeing senators and others who changed their vote for. >> you see a lot of the senators coming out of favor of it. it is all going to the point to where there are

way.wade. the supreme court stated that people have changed and the way we look get people and even have also changed. we as a court have the ability to do this. >> you just said that this is about whether not dave marriage okay? >> they can a lease say that in the case of california when there was a right for get marriage that was taken away and was taken away because a person's sexual orientation was applied to the 14th amendment. when you do this is set the stage and you do not need to reach the

fundamental issue. you do not have to make a big announcement. but by doing this you can create a playbook for every other states who may want to adopt a gay marriage. >> we will find out and and june whether or not this will be okay. we will have transcript's available for you later. >> will also put information on our web site and are 247 news channel comcast channel 193. >> into the afternoon we do have a slight chance of showers and nothing to major. most of us will remain dry throughout the day. keep your umbrellas handy because there is a weak system that will bring rain to the area. tomorrow showers are possible and the temperatures are similar to yesterday. it will be 70's
